Method and sources

• Every price is read from the vendor's official pricing page on 2026-10-18, in USD, before tax, with a verbatim evidence snippet and the page it came from. 28 plans have verified prices; 3 are pending.
• Total cost over N years = subscription (first-term price in year 1, renewal price afterwards where the page shows both; otherwise the listed price in every year) + your domain price where a plan gives no free first-year domain.
• Annual billing uses the per-month price the page shows for yearly billing × 12 (Hostinger and Carrd show a total for the term). For Hostinger, years after the first use its “Renews at” price per month × 12 (the page does not say how long the renewal term is). Monthly billing uses the monthly price × 12. A billing option the page does not show is pending and the plan is left out of that ranking.
• “Online store” counts only plans where the official page shows a store. “Own domain” counts only plans where the page shows a custom domain. Carrd builds one-page sites only (its own description), so rankings for multi-page sites leave it out.
• Domain renewal prices, taxes, payment-processing and card fees, add-ons and app costs are not included.
• Squarespace is switched to USD with its own currency selector, Framer is requested with a US client address so it shows its USD view, and Shopify's USD price is read from the data embedded in its pricing page (its visible price is localised). Shopify's Starter plan is closed to new stores.
• A daily refresh re-checks every evidence snippet against the live pages and logs any mismatch for a human. Data is never changed automatically.
• Rankings are by total cost, then name. Affiliate status is never read by the calculator (tested).

Pending

• Framer: Monthly billing price (the page's billing switch could not be set by script, so only the yearly view is verified)
• Shopify: Monthly USD price for Basic; USD prices for Grow and Advanced (the page is localised to DKK for our location); Starter price (plan closed to new stores); Starter plan (Not available to new stores (Shopify help center); price pending); Grow plan (USD price not visible from our location); Advanced plan (USD price not visible from our location)
• Durable: Whether the yearly price is charged upfront or monthly under an annual commitment
